WASHINGTON – The Pentagon announced Sunday that American forces have destroyed an Iranian naval vessel and are demanding that Iran’s military personnel abandon their positions.
U.S. Central Command, which is directing current American military operations against Iran, reported that it destroyed a Jamaran-class corvette belonging to Iran’s navy. The vessel was struck while docked at a pier in Chah Bahar in the Gulf of Oman.
In a statement posted on social media platform X, Central Command reinforced President Donald Trump’s Saturday message to Iranian forces. “As the President said, members of Iran’s armed forces, IRGC and police ‘must lay down your weapons.’ Abandon ship,” the command stated.
